Revelation 21:18 KJV
And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.
Not too many months ago my wife and I took the tour of the Seattle underground. To be honest I wasn't that impressed. It is dirty, musty and the guides felt a need to behave just a little bit seedy because that, they say, is the historical persona of Seattle. But history is always interesting and there were some interesting lessons learned
At one point in the tour we were under the sidewalks of the city and the guide points out these pieces of colored glass with built in reflectors. There was a time when what happened under those sidewalks was as active as what happened on the sidewalks. Having no electricity, the colored glass pieces embedded in the sidewalk, and coupled with the reflectors provided the lighting for the underground life.
It was only recently that I was made aware that nearly all of the materials used in the New Jerusalem reflect light. The gems, the gold, the pearls and the glass are all enhanced as they react to light. The Lamb of God is the light of the city, and that will be unbelievably glorious but as the city itself reflects His light, how glorious this place must be.
How I long to be there.
